The son of basketball legend LeBron James, Bronny James, a highly regarded NBA prospect, experienced a heart attack on Monday while working out at the University of Southern California.
The 18-year-old combo guard passed out on the Galen Center court as he was getting ready for his debut season of collegiate basketball. He is no longer receiving intensive care and his condition is stable.
According to a family statement, Bronny James experienced a heart attack the day before while practicing. Bronny was treated by medical personnel, who then transported him to the hospital. He is presently stable and out of the intensive care unit.
“We want quiet and respect for the James family, and we will inform the media as more information becomes available.
LeBron and Savannah (Bronny’s parents) would want to publicly express their gratitude to the USC medical and athletic personnel for all of their hard work and commitment to the safety of their athletes.
At 9.26 am, emergency services received a call, according to TMZ Sports. Bronny was taken by EMS to the hospital after becoming unconscious at the Galen Center facility, where the team practices and plays.
Bronny, an All-American high school athlete, committed to play for USC last month with the goal of following in the footsteps of his four-time NBA Champion father.
LeBron wants to play on the same team as his oldest kid before retiring, and several pundits think the 18-year-old has a chance to be selected in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The 38-year-old stated in January that “I need to get on the court with my son, I want to be on the court with Bronny.” “I’d want to do something Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. style, but I don’t mean that we’ll play one on one in a game. Without a doubt, that would be amazing.
“I ask him what his goals are, and he replies that he wants to play in the NBA, so if that’s what he wants, he’ll have to work hard for it. I’m already here; all I need to do is wait for him.
In May, LeBron stated, “I was serious. I remain committed to it. Of course, I need to keep both my body and mind in good shape, with my mind being the most crucial. At the end of the day, though, my son will continue on his trip since I’ve completed my obligations to this league.
Bryce, the youngest son of LeBron and Savannah, is another promising player. Many NBA scouts saw the 16-year-old shooting guard play at the Peach Jam showcase in South Carolina earlier this month after he made an impression for Campbell Hall School.
